PLATTSMOUTH, Neb. — A 64-year-old Louisville, Neb., man will serve a minimum prison sentence of 17½ years for first-degree assault and use of a firearm to commit a felony.

Steven I. Harrod was sentenced Monday by Cass County District Judge Randall Rehmeier to 20 to 30 years on the assault charge and 10 to 30 years for using a firearm to commit a felony. The sentences will be served one after the other.

Harrod pleaded no contest in exchange for dismissal of a third charge — possession of a firearm — and for Cass County Attorney Nathan Cox to remain silent during the sentencing.

In the plea agreement, Harrod admitted shooting Michael Green in the face on Jan. 14 in Louisville. Green and his girlfriend were tenants of Harrod.
